A spokesman for Highways England said: "Average speed check signage will be installed at the entry point to the enforced section and additional repeater 'camera' signs will be installed along the length of the enforced section to remind drivers."

A freedom of information request revealed the old fixed Esher A3 50mph camera generated more than 7,800 fixed penalty notices for speeding between February 2011 to January 2016.

The fines brought in £645,600 for HM Treasury over the same five-year period.
